Leantime is a strategic open source project management system for innovative companies and teams looking to go from start to finish. Built for the non-project manager, we combine the plans and the work while making it easy for everyone on the team to use.
It's an alternative to ClickUp, Notion, and Asana. As simple as Trello but as feature rich as Jira.

There are two main ways to install LeanTime for production. The first of which is to install all needed pieces of the system locally. The second is to use the offically supported Docker image.
- Download latest release package
- Create an empty MySQL database
- Upload entire directory to your server
- Point your domain root to the
public/directory - Rename
config/.env.sampletoconfig/.env - Fill in your database credentials (username, password, host, dbname) in
config/.env - Navigate to
<yourdomain.com>/install - Follow instructions to install database and set up first user account
We maintain an official Docker image on dockerhub. To run the image enter your MySQL credentials and execute. You can pass in all the configuration variables from .env
docker run -d --restart unless-stopped -p 80:80 --network leantime-net \
-e LEAN_DB_HOST=mysql_leantime \
-e LEAN_DB_USER=admin \
-e LEAN_DB_PASSWORD=321.qwerty \
-e LEAN_DB_DATABASE=leantime \
-e [email protected] \
--name leantime leantime/leantime:latest
You can set any of the config variables in config/configuration.php when running the docker command.
Once started you can go to <yourdomain.com>/install and run the installation script.
There are two ways to install a development setup of LeanTime. The first (but most techical) is to install all pieces of the system locally. The second (and prefered method) is to use a docker containerized development environment.
- Install composer and npm
- Clone repository to your local server
- Create MySQL database
- Run composer to load php dependencies
composer install
then
npm install
to load Javascript dependencies and finally run the grunt task to create the compiled js files
./node_modules/grunt/bin/grunt Build-All
- Point your local domain to the
public/directory - Rename
config/configuration.sample.phptoconfig/configuration.php - Fill in your database credentials (username, password, host, dbname) in
config/configuration.php - Navigate to
<localdomain>/install - Follow instructions to install database and user account
For development, we use a dockerized development environment. You will need to have docker, docker compose, make, composer, git and npm installed.
- Notes for Windows Environments:
- Run all commands within the git bash terminal in order to utilize unix specific commands
- If installing php from a zip file, make sure to configure php.ini
It does not exist initially, so copy C:\php\php.ini-development to C:\php\php.ini. You will also need to edit php.ini in a text editor and enable all needed extentions for the build process. You can find these by running the make commands and looking for any extensions that error out as missing. You can enable them by seaching php.ini for the extension that will look like:
;extension=gdand removing the semicolon.
In order to build the development docker image, in the root of this repository, run a primer with
make clean build
afterwards, run
make run-dev
this will start the development server on port 8080.
The dev environment provides a mysql server, mail server, s3 server, and should be good to go for your needs out of the box. The configuration of the development environment is found in .dev/.env, and is already seeded with the appropriate values. You should probably not be modifying this unless you plan to work on a feature for a specific integration. the applications you get are as follows
- http://localhost:8080 : leantime
- http://localhost:8081 : maildev - to check emails sent
- http://localhost:8082 : phpmyadmin(authentication
leantime:leantime) to check the DB schema and data - http://localhost:8083 : s3ninja - to check s3 uploads. You need to enable this in the
.dev/.envfile by enabling s3
Additionally, XDebug is enabled, but you will have to modify your
IDE key in the .dev/xdebug.ini file(or alternatively, on your IDE). You also need to have port 9003 temporarily open on your firewall so you can utilize it effectively. This is because connections from docker to the host will count as external inbound connection
- Make sure to take a backup of your database and files
- Replace all files in your directory with the updated version
- If there were any database changes, the system will redirect you to
<yourdomain.com>/update
